behind the virus. That comes from the X-Files movie.
Chapter 2- Outbreak
Mulder, Scully, Doggett, and Reyes arrived in San Francisco. Not knowing where to start, they decided to go to the detective office. When they arrived, they told one of the officers why they were there and asked if they could talk to someone. As soon as Mulder shared his theory, the officer directed them to Darryl.
The officer figured Darryl would be the best person to talk to there, due to the fact that he worked on a lot of the unsolved, "freaky" cases. This was probably because Darryl was a very good friend of the Halliwells. He was one of the few who knew their secret. The Halliwells would go to Darryl with help from time to time and vice versa.
"So far it has mainly been around where CMU is. Not many people have it, but every one who is infected is acting strange. They don't act like themselves," Darryl said.
Doggett asked, "Where is CMU located?"

The four agents decided that they could cover more ground if they split up. Doggett and Reyes went to do research. Mulder and Scully decided to go to CMU and talk to some of the administrators.

Phoebe walked out of the classroom door. The bad feeling she got the night before never left. It just kept getting worse. Of course, learning about the virus again that day didn't help any.
She was walking lost in thought when she heard someone scream for help. She looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a girl being attacked. "Hey!" she yelled as she started to chase after the girl's attacker.
When she got closer, she saw that the man that attacked to girl was infected with the virus. Once the man saw Phoebe, he let the girl go and ran away.
"Are you okay?" Phoebe asked the girl. All the girl could manage was a nod.

Mulder and Scully were talking to the head advisor of the college when they heard someone scream. They turned around just in time to see Phoebe chasing after the girl and her attacker.
"Excuse us," Scully said hurriedly. Then, her and Mulder sprinted after the trio. When they had caught up, only Phoebe and the girl remained. The attacker had already fled.
"Is everything alright?" Mulder asked.
Phoebe looked up at the two agents. "Yes, everything's fine. She was attacked, but luckily she wasn't hurt...just a little shaken."
"Did you get a good look at the man that attacked her?" Scully asked Phoebe.
"Good enough to know that he has that weird virus that's going around."
Mulder and Scully looked at each other. They had their first actual witnesses. Mulder looked at Phoebe and said, "We're going to take her in for some questioning on what happened," he said, indicating the girl. "Is there some way we can reach you?"
"You can drop by at my house. I'm there most of the time." She quickly wrote down her address, and handed it to them. Then she hurried off to her car to go home. As she unlocked her car door, she got a feeling that someone was watching her. She cautiously turned around, but saw nothing. It must just be my imagination, she thought. Then she drove home. A college student, who was infected with the virus, ran away from his hiding spot in the bushes.

When they arrived at their hotel, they found Doggett and Reyes looking through a bunch of papers they had gotten off of the Internet earlier. They found case reports on the outbreaks in other areas.
They looked up when they heard Mulder and Scully come in. They cleared away some places to sit so that they could talk to the girl that was with Mulder and Scully.
"Whenever you are ready, can you tell us what happened?" Scully asked gently.
The girl took a deep breath to calm herself, and then began. "I was walking to my car when that creep came up to me. He said something about becoming 'one of them.' When I started to walk away, he grabbed me. I screamed for help as he started dragging me away. The rest is all a blur until he ran off."
"Do you remember what he looked like?" Mulder asked.
"He was tall. He had short black hair and ... his eyes were completely black."
"Anything else?" Mulder prodded.
"No, that's all I can remember...except...Wait a minute. I know who that was. He is in one of my classes. But, that doesn't make sense. He wouldn't hurt a fly. What's going on?"
"It's the virus," Scully replied. "It causes a drastic personality change in all who are infected."
After they had heard everything they would hear from the girl, they drove her to her home.
"Well, I think we can safely say that this virus is the typical X-File," Doggett said. "From what Reyes and I have found on the Internet, this is the same thing that has been happening everywhere. In some cases people have even turned against their own family."
"Well, we might as well get used to San Francisco," Reyes said. "I have a feeling that we are going to be here for a while."
